Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the frothy yeast mixture, yogurt, and oil or melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Divide Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions.

  2. 7

    Shape Naan

    Roll each portion into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 8

    Heat Skillet

    Preheat a skillet or tandoor on medium-high heat.

    Cook Naan

    Cook each naan on the skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and puffed up.

  5. 10

    Add Toppings

    While the naan is still warm, brush it with honey or maple syrup, and sprinkle with chopped nuts and cinnamon powder.

  6. 11
